Parliament’s Speaker, Trevor Mallard, says he has had no official notification from health authorities about Jami-Lee Ross. Under the Electoral Act, a person in charge of a hospital has to notify the Speaker as soon as possible if a Member of Parliament is...
Smith did me a favour 15 years ago. He pissed me off so much that I stopped listening to radio. Once when there were minor disasters in the provinces local radio would follow the events all day. Now it's just networks who don't give a stuff about anything ...
I’m tempted to go along just to see what all the fuss is about. The protesters and the attendees will probably be more interesting than the speakers to be honest.
Totally agree, scrap the spending cap. If Labour/NZFirst/Greens wants to risk being a one term government then keep the cap on. Folk voted for a change yet the money is not there to implement them under the present rules. Increase the spending on improving...
Yes. Why did they stay so quiet under National?
Mandatory abdication at the age of 70 so that new blood gets a chance. The more I read about the royals the more I find them rather despicable especially when it comes to the treatment of their disabled relatives. 5 young relatives locked in an asylum on ...
I planted a bed of cosmos at my mothers and after a brilliant show they all went to seed. For a couple of days a dozen or so chaffinches fed on them then suddenly left when the food ran out. Far more colourful than the usual sparrows and blackbirds and yet...
Payback is sweet.
When I was going through a bleak time with my business (courtesy of Douglas & co) I wrote to Jim and received a kind considerate letter back within the week. His word was his bond unlike many of his fellow politicians in the 80s early 90s. NZ has lost a ...
Already doing that Ed After an episode of Atrial Fibrillation gave up alcohol and ate plant based food. In the process in 3 weeks have lost 9 kg and normally raised blood pressure has dropped way way down to the level that I have to see the doc to cut my ...
Topless bathing was common in the 80s then society became more conservative for the 90s. One beach I can think of was full of boobs in the summer my wife's amongst them and no one cared. Last year at a beach close to this one a young woman discarded her ...
Hereditary rare familial cancer has reared it's head again and we are going up to Waikato Monday so that my daughter can have a week of tests then a future major operation in the near future. Bastard usually targets the adrenal glands. I've lost both of ...
Not a lie after all. Joyce's missing hole finally found. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11928008
Politics in NZ needs more political parties and a 2-3% thresh hold. Winston will one day go off to his retirement and NZF will take a substantial hit. We will be back at Labour/Greens versus National virtual FPP politics. For democracies sake the thresh ...
Hero of the people hopefully.
Morgan gave the best speech of the night
Getting sick of the media saying it's Peters moral obligation to go with the party with the most votes. There is no morality in politics.
RNZ for me. Quite calming.
Think I will stick to the Port you guys have made me nervous LOL
OK, seeing as this site is nonpolitical today can anyone tell me what Jagermeister tastes like. I have googled but got nothing worth while. I bought a 750 mil bottle years ago as the pharmacist recommended it for a bad cold and then before I got around to ...
Asked to a friends election party and I lied and said I had a previous engagement as I knew what it would be. He said that it would be a small group of farmers but he wasn't asking his friend Geoff as he was staunch Labour and wouldn.t fit in. If he only ...
Tea tonight. Start off with a pot of Nerada (a lovely Aussie tea from the Atherton Tablelands) followed later by Bell Kenya Bold a strong builders tea. Woke up a few mornings ago feeling like death warmed up. Came right by next day but somehow it has left ...
The Scream..Jacinda Ardern. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1422629158 And sorry if someone has already posted it.
I think the Green vote will be higher than the polls show.
I'm surprised there are still Provincial Newspapers still surviving the internet. The Taranaki Daily News up still goes on despite having reduced staff, a rented office, mainly syndicated news and being printed in Porirua and I amazes me why folks buy it. ...
Winston will be the next UK High Commissioner before the end of next term and all power to him if he does get it. Despite what we may think of him he is a legend. (And I didn't vote for him).
I know Bolger said "Bugger the polls" but has any Colmar Brunton or Reid poll been completely wrong this close to an election?
Don't you mean Billshit?
Hosking did well as the National spokesman.
Thank goodness we don't have exit polls.
Sewers already rented out.
